Xata Corp. Revamps Operations

Xata Corp. sold its Enterprise Technologies operation in Peoria, Ill., to Mobile Security Communications of Roswell, Ga., for an undisclosed amount.

The sale will allow Xata to reduce operating costs and minimize involvement in peripheral areas, said Dennis Johnson, the company’s president. It also allow the company to focus on its principal products, he said.

MSC gains Enterprise’s chief product, Transportation Breakdown Management System, a software program that helps drivers of disabled trucks locate repair facilities, request assistance and report problems. The product fits well with MSC, which provides mobile data and roadside services to fleets, the company said.
